o, how love thee, baby fair!
With eyes so brown. and golden hair,
Ny thoughts are all of thee.
Thou srt the shrine of all my care,
For all my love is centerd there.
What will thy future be!
or when gaze in thy dark eyes,
With fear, tremble with surprise
To see the depths within,
From whence the soul seems peeping thro',
Waiting its time to will and do.
pray il do no sin
I'll give TO thee my watchful care,
And ask kind Heav'n my love-watch share
To guide thee in the right,
That thou dost walk in wisdom's way;
Meier be by evil led astray,
Or doom'd TO sorrows night
Father IN Heay'n, TO Thee pray!
Words fail me what my soul would say.
Thy help do implore,
That Thy precious gift may raise
To manhood's prime-Thine be the praise
Now and forevermore.

LICKED UP IN TWO HOURS.
Most of the Town of Ironwood, Mich.
Loss About $50 600.

HURLEY, Wis, Sept 10 The business por-
ton OF the town of lronwoo1, Mich, was al
most totally destroyed by fire Saturday after
aeon. The fire broke ont about o'clock in
building occupied in part by a cigar fac
tory, and soon spread to the adjoining
structures, which were of wood aud in the
course of two hours some fifty or more
buildings and much valuable merchandise
were destroyed. The citizens worked hard
to extinguish the fire and save their prop
erty, but the means at hand
were inadequate and but for
for the hard work done by the Hurley fire
department nearly the entire town would
have been consumed The total loss will
amount to nearly $3.50, 0O0 and the insur-
ance in reliable companies is very light.
Many families are rendered homeless
Among the heavy losers are Bingham & Per.
rim, general merchandise, S7i,d00; Hoxie &
Miller, lumber yard and buildings, $50 900
Ironwood company, store, $500. About
fifty other losses, ranging from 81 900 to $lu,-
Co., will aggregate about $1,S,0O0'
The town is situated six miles east Of
Bessemer on the Gogebic range. There is nc
fire department and no adequate means OF
fire protection, which made it impossible tc
control the flames at all with the high wind
blowing The fire destroyed twenty build
ings in the two blocks in which most of the
business houses were situated
The ST. james hotel building,
in which were situated, besides the hotel, the
express, telegraph and postoffice, the Bank Of

the telegraph Office shut off communication

or of the whole world-to graduates OF
England's Oxford or Cambridge, or
